About: I worked in a doggy daycare for a few years and have been caring for pets still after that. Have had a senior dog of my own to care for. I am very flexible with time throughout the week. Have dogs to care for of my own so while wife is at work during the day will need to care for them a little bit. I will care for the clients pet in their home exactly how they would want their dog treated in their home, and will follow their instructions exactly.

“Elizabeth is amazing! She came over to let my dog Shep out and feed him while I was away. Shep is a timid and shy German Shepherd who’s usually very leery of strangers—but somehow, Elizabeth has this incredible gift for working with animals. She made him feel completely comfortable and at ease. I’m beyond grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog sitter.”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, I provide thoughtful, personalized attention for every animal I meet. I’m confident with everything from energetic puppy walks to gentle senior care, and I understand the little details that make a big difference—like medication schedules, feeding routines, and play preferences. Whether your pet needs a walking buddy, a calm companion, or just someone who truly cares, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I work part-time, so I’m available for morning walks and drop-ins before 11:30 AM most days. I’m also completely free on Mondays, which gives me extra flexibility for longer visits or special care. I truly enjoy spending quality time with pets, and I make sure to plan my schedule so your pet always gets the attention and consistency they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I follow your routines exactly to reduce stress and ensure familiarity. I keep a close, watchful eye during every visit or walk, making sure your pet feels secure, loved, and cared for. Whether it’s locking doors after visits, wiping paws after walks, or giving medication on time, I handle each detail with responsibility and heart—because I know your pet is family.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years — from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience. I’ve helped train young pups with basic commands and routines, and I’ve provided gentle care for older dogs with mobility or health needs. I have hands-on experience with many breeds, including French Bulldogs and Dogo Argentinos, all with unique personalities. Whether your pup loves playtime or prefers calm companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time in Petaluma from 7 AM to 3:30 PM, so my super early mornings and evenings are free Monday through Friday for walks or drop-ins. I can also use my lunch break for a quick potty visit if needed, and I’m available after work for evening care. Weekends are fully open, and I’m happy to be flexible to fit your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow your instructions closely, stick to their usual routine, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m mindful of each pet’s personality and needs—whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience. I also send regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

“Our first time with Rover and Cora had been a resounding success! Cora gave Agatha and James so much love and attention and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in great hands! We have a wonderful future together! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”


“Savannah is a dream! So professional and kind, an excellent communicator and a quick problem solver. Savannah cared for our chickens for nearly three full weeks and watched over the house and plants. She provided regular updates, was intuitive to care for the girls in the hot weather and allowed my time away to feel so much more at ease. I was so thrilled to return with thriving plants, and happy, calm chickens. Will definitely look to book with her again in the future, and recommend fully!”


“Tiffany took great care of our guinea pig and fish while we were out of town for a week during the holidays. She is an amazing petsitter and went above and beyond the care we were hoping for. Our guinea pig had last minute health issues, and Tiffany took on extra medication administration as well as wound care. She did an amazing job, and we can’t thank her enough.”


About: I’ve cared for pets since I was a kid and have a strong understanding of dog behavior and body language, so your pup will always be in safe, loving hands. I’ve had my current dog, Mochi, for 2 years, and together we’d love to host your pup for a fun-filled sleepover party! 🎉 During their stay, I’ll send plenty of photos and videos so you can see how much fun they’re having and feel at ease while you’re away. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I can only host small to medium-sized dogs, as Mochi can be a bit nervous around larger breeds—thanks for understanding! Both me and my husband work from home. I give my dog 2 main walks and 2 other potty breaks in a day. We can keep an eye on your furry baby at all times and our dog can provide company too. :) I have a dog at home so he can keep your dog company. If you have a breed that need frequent grooming, I can brush him/her as frequently as needed. I feed my dog twice a day but I can follow any specific instructions you may have.


“Lucy is an excellent and reliable sitter for my two cats. One of the two is extremely shy and won’t come inside when Lucy’s here to do her check-ins. She does an amazing job of juggling the feeding of the two cats so that Purrsia thinks Lucy has left the house and comes in to eat her meal. All of this while making sure Trouble, the other cat, doesn’t eat it first. I highly recommend Lucy.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Alex and how well he took care of our two cats while we were away for a week. He was so on top of everything, sent detailed updates and photos with every check-in and it was just so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation without worrying if our cats were in good hands. I would HIGHLY recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m a local Petaluma resident who would love to help out my neighbors and friends by spending time with their furry companions. I love to get outside and explore the area and I have flexibility during the week to come visit your dog or take them out, for a walk or just some extra playtime during the day while you’re away or at work. I work remote and am able to do drop ins or walks Monday-Friday. I love incorporating walks into my day and would love to bring a furry friend along and provide care and company while their owners are away. I care for others pets in the same way I care for my own dog, Freddie, with attention to their individual personalities and needs and with the care I would expect if someone was watching my dog in my home.

About: I have had dogs all my life and have taken care of cats as well for a chunk at time as well. I currently have a mini Aussie and we are frequently on walks and adventures around town and Sonoma and Marin county. I am great with dogs on leash and encountering other dogs on walks. Love dogs of all ages. I own my own business as a wedding and even floral designer in Petaluma. My hours are flexible but mostly due to my she file during the spring and summer Sundays - Wednesdays are best. But ask and happy to work something out. I have a fenced in yard with a small patch of lawn, with water and toys available to play with for the dog. In our neighborhood, we typically walk around it is a good area to walk around.

About: I come from a farming background in Ireland. I absolutely adore animals, especially dogs. I don’t have my own at the moment and I really miss them. I’m a really active person and would love a doggo to go on walks with! I’m a teacher, off on summer holidays! Lots of availability as have all my days free. I’m an early riser so early morning walks / midday walks or afternoon walks all fit easily in my schedule! If the doggy can board with me - even better!! I can guarantee it’ll be very loved and well looked after! I have a 2400 sq ft house as well as a fenced back yard. Lots of space to play both indoors and outdoors! I also live really close to many walkways and green areas!

“Our wirehaired doxies immediately warmed to Jessica which made us feel really comfortable leaving them for the first time in years and years. It’s clear she loves dogs and understands separation anxiety issues. They got extra love and attention, and when we got home they slept for hours! Thank you, Jessica!”

Xi & Yohanas F.
“Blair and Yohan dog sat for our 3 year old corgi, Eevee for about 2 weeks. Blair did a wonderful job taking care of her and always checked in by sending pictures of their day. She would ask clarifying questions to make sure Eevee was getting the best care possible. Blair would also make sure to introduce their dog Mochi slowly in the beginning to make sure they got along. They quickly became the best of friends and had a blast playing together everyday. It was such a relief knowing that our fur baby was in good hands and the pictures and videos we got made us feel less anxious about leaving her for so long! We definitely recommend Blair and will look forward to having her watch Eevee again in the future.”

Dane T.

“When we have to leave a pet it’s difficult enough to begin with as we love them so much. Dane has a passion for animals, specifically for dogs, but all living creatures. I can personally attest to his adoption of multiple dogs to rescue them from life death situations and he has kept each until their life’s end. You will not find a more caring, attentive loving and reliable friend for your pet.”


Jayne H.
“Jayne is my regular go-to for any dogsitting needs I have with my pup! She is a great communicator who always takes the best care of Luna. Every time I come to pick Luna up she seems sad to leave, which is only mildly offensive to me 😉 I would absolutely recommend Jayne to anyone looking for a dogsitter, your dog will feel right at home.”
